Subject: Lyr Add: Can you name this song?
Hi,in a book by Elspeth Huxley I came across this verse; Oh that the peats would cut themselves And all the little fishes leap upon the shore That I might lie upon my back And rest for ever more. Oich! Oich! She says it was a favourite West Highlands song of her father's. It may just be a stand-alone fragment of verse - but does anyone know a name and a full lyric?
